What War Does To Kids

A “Second a day” video compilation:

Just because it isn’t happening here, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.

So as you can see little miss silver spoon decided to sulk about shit getting REAL, rather than loading up some mags, grabbing her rifle and doing something about the situation. *smh* kids these days.

In all seriousness, It’s really sad to think how war totally ruins the carefree childhood every kid should have. It’s not like kids (and adults most often too) can just pack up their stuff and move to a safer place.

The video is from a organization called Save The Children. They promise that 89% of all donated money goes to actual programs to help the kids, so I like that idea.

Yeah. These anti-war hippies saying that we shouldn’t be invading countries and going to war with the indigenous population are ruining everything!
Don’t be a numbskull, bro, this isn’t just straight up “think of the children”, this is a side of war that people conveniently seem to neglect. Syria is fucked and while this is a tad heavy handed advertising, it’s not really “bullshit”.

Jeez, what a tool. “Bullshit” is exactly what it is.
Notice that that isn’t a Russian or Iranian kid.
This is the same mentality that ran “antiwar” demonstrations and “antinuke” protests all over the nonSobvbloc world in the 1960-1990’s… and never never ONCE suggested that any nation other than OURS disarm.
Go protest out front of the Russian embassy, you’re so interested in nations not invading indigenous people.

In all of my wartime experiences, the most gut-wrenching thing is being around the kids. Be they refugees, bystanders, combatants or just background scenery, it has never been easy to see them in their natural state.

I see a lot of false bravado going around in here on a regular basis. I get it that we should train our kids to a certain extent, but I could never forgive myself for putting a young child of my own genetic design into a warzone. I mean, it may happen. They may have to fight alongside me.. But I’d never forgive myself for it.
